Change of plans

[Auntiejessi3]

Just completed my Baker Creek seed order, I am so ready for Spring!

All leveled out, now I'll just twiddle my thumbs waiting for the eggs

Well Langdon has wry neck, put him in the grow out pen and gave him some nutri drench. Gonna stop and get some selenium with E while I'm running errands.

He's drinking but not eating, so I'm gonna syringe some blended feed, egg yolk, nutri drench, and B complex vitamins. He is such a sweet, patient boy.

Hope Langdon makes a full recovery for you...

I do too! He is so sweet! Pulled up a bucket with a towel on my lap and put him on my lap. We talked in-between the feedings. He did quite well and took down about 10ml of mush. I prefer to bullet feed, but with his neck freaking out bending backwards I didn't think it was a good idea. I think I'm gonna put one of the wheaten pullets in there with him this evening, I'm sure it would help with his moral. I'll post an update in the morning after his feeding.

Please do keep us updated. And good idea giving him a sleepover buddy


What is bullet feeding? I've never heard the term.

You take the feed and add just enough liquid to form it into pellets, then pop them in the birds mouth and they swallow. It's quite efficient.

Went out for Langdon's morning feeding/vitamin infusion. He fought me quite a bit more than yesterday, so I'll take that as a good sign. He's still not eating on his own from what I could tell, but I watched him for a good 10 minutes afterwards and he had way less head fits.

Since there is improvement in his neck motions, I'm going to give him a couple of bullets for his evening feeding
